The dimension of universal gravitational constant is……….?

A.

\( M­^{–1}L^3 T^{–2} \)

B.

ML3T2

C.

ML3

D.

MLT-2

Correct answer is A

f α (MM ÷g2)

F(GMM ÷ r2) [G – gravitational constant]

GMM = Fr2

G = F02 ÷ MM = m × aπr2 ÷ MM (f = ma)

= (m × m5-2 × r2) ÷ MM

= (Kg.m52 × m2) ÷ Kg.Kg

=1 ÷ kg.m3.52

The dimension mathematically representation have a quantities of M, L AND T

M (Mass) = kg, L (Length) = M, T (Time) second

G = kg-1 m2.52(Using dimension rule)

M-1.L3.T-2

∴ The universal gravitational constant (G) =\( M­^{–1}L^3 T^{–2} \)

For a best result using temperature to achieve an accurate measurement, it is best to use

A.

Mercury thermometer

B.

gas thermometer

C.

clinical thermometer

D.

alcohol thermometer

Correct answer is B

Gas thermometers are considered best for use to achieve an accurate temperature than others, such as liquid in glass thermometers such as mercury, clinical and alcohol thermometer

What is the S.I unit of relative density?

A.

kg m-2

B.

kg m2

C.

kg cm3

D.

has no S.I unit

Correct answer is D

Note: relative density has no S.I unit

∴ Relative density = weight of substance ÷ weight of equal volume of water

RD = w1 ÷ (w1 – w2) (no S. I unit)
